X Games Aspen: Danny Davis of Truckee, California

Danny Davis suffered blows to the pelvis and spine caused by the misuse
of an All Terrain Vehicle while he was in contention for a spot at the
2010 Olympic Games in Vancouver. Davis was doing extremely well and had
even scored ahead of Shaun White. Davis was unaware of his number one
qualifying spot for the 2010 Games, so he went out drinking only knowing
he had gotten a 1st place finish. While intoxicated, he drove an All
Terrain Vehicle into an iron gate. His lumbar vertebrae two, three, and
four were fused together and screws have been placed throughout his
shattered pelvis.
